The man behind Dirty Elegance, a man who happens to prefer to remain faceless and nameless, picked up his first musical instrument, a saxophone, at the age of ten after being inspired by, of all things, a Hall and Oats song. Even at that young an age it was quickly evident that music was going to be his path in life. Dirty Elegance describes his time growing up as “a whirlwind of honor bands, European jazz tours, and intense training.” After moving to New York City in 2000 with no money, no job and nowhere to live, he continued his musical journey any way he could. Seven years later, he has a couple bucks in his wallet, a roof over his head, and he even knows a few people. This week I sat down with Dirty Elegance to find out what his work is all about and what I came away with are answers that qualify as both strange and compelling.
